Say “Yes” to These 5 “No-No” Foods

You’ve lived your whole life thinking that you should avoid certain bad-for-you foods at all costs if you want to lose weight or stay healthy. But here’s the real skinny: These “bad” foods are actually good for you!

·        Red wine. Drinking one small glass every day gives you a healthy dose of heart-healthy resveratrol and improves your exercise endurance.

·        Chocolate. Eaten in moderation, dark chocolate packs enough antioxidants to help your body release fat. Bonus: it’s a tasty way to boost your mood, too!

·        Cheese. Eating at least three servings of low-fat dairy every day will help you lose weight and decrease body fat.

·        Coconut oil. This tropical oil is easy to digest and helps improve the ratio of good to bad cholesterol.

·        Nuts. Munching your favorite nut is a satisfying snack that helps boost metabolism and improve your body’s ability to burn calories.
